Abstract: Techniques to process virtual machine objects through multistep workflows in a computer system are described. In an example, a method of processing virtual machine objects through a workflow having a plurality of ordered steps in a computer system includes executing the workflow on computing resources of the computer system using the virtual machine objects as parametric input, where the computing resources: divide the virtual machine objects into workgroups; perform instances of a step of the workflow in parallel on the workgroups as the workgroups complete a prior step in the workflow; and execute an agent to delegate the workgroups to, and receive results from, the instances of the step as the workflow is executed.
